As a 2022-23 Major Leeds Soccer fan, I've never been more embarrassed
I've been watching Leeds United like a Marcelo Bielsa assistant stationed in a bush for over eight months now.

Like the American in An American Werewolf in London, I feel like my spiritual presence here in England has only left a trail of destruction, blood and tears.
